If you use an E-collar at the wrong time, the dog will end up being
confused, wary, and you will break any form of bond with your dog that you
have already.
This was nice to watch! You explained it well and I’ll try this absolutely
at home! My older dog is almost 10, but she realized last summer in few
times how to walk between legs and how to spin. And she still remembers it,
just last week I tried again! And my younger dog is 1,5 years old, she’ll
have to train little by little to give different paws etc π
I have tried making her jump through a hoolahoop. Just stepping in the
middle of it, and then through it slowly, of course but she really doesn’t
want to. Even when i offer her a treat she just ignores it, and its not
like her. she’s always stealing treats and toys from the other dogs. does
she have a phobia of some sort? she has come from a bad background, as i
picked her up from the pound after she had a pretty rough start, but surely
treats wouldn’t…. is she ill? please let me know.
So from the very, very beginning you start them on a lead, walking around.
You stop, blow the whistle and make them sit (either using your hands or
asking them). Soon, they should pick up the fact that every time you blow
the whistle they need to sit. Make sure EVERY time you blow it, they sit. xx
Thanks for the information. I will definitely do that. I suppose you start
by walking them on a lead in a heal position. stop, give the sit command,
as that’s what they know, and then whistle….eventually replace the verbal
sit with the whistle. I suppose from there I could walk them at a faster
pace, and whistle, and expect them to sit………then perhaps a 20 foot
lead, then 50, etc…..then FREE! Is that sort of how it starts?
Ok so my opinion on E-collars are they have their place, but not a
replacement for good training. With our dogs, you need to train, train and
train some more. Start with them close to you, and re-inforce the sit (so
you whistle, if they don’t sit, you run to them and make them sit on
exactly the spot you asked them to sit in the first place). It’s really
important you don’t get lazy and not bother with this. Your dogs need to
know that when they are away from you, they are still ‘reachable’. x
what do i do? I have a 3 yr old staffy, and she is normally very healthy
and energetic, always wanting to please me and learn new things. But i am
trying to teach her some things, (Paw, shake, roll over, etc) and then im
going to try with some proper doggy dancing. but i have been trying
literally all day to get her doing paw + shake, and she just doesn’t get
it. i have forgot that idea, and tried some other things, but she just sits
there in the corner, shivering.
It sounds as though you are putting too much pressure on her. Keep trying
but keep it really light, lots of happy noises, praise and treats. She will
get there π
Thanks so very much for your time. That would be quite helpful. Our dogs
are 9 months old, and know “sit” and “come” very well. They have great
recall on long distance “come.” However, the command to sit when in a dead
run in search of prey or chasing a bird….I can’t imagine them EVER
sitting! We do not own e-collars, however, I am not opposed to them. Do you
use them for long distance? Ours don’t hunt, however, they do chase. It is
imperative that they learn this for their safety!
Sophie and i watched this video of your a few days ago and tonight we got
the Paw/shake separate commands down in under 20 min. will continue to work
on it this week and hopefully graduate up to knees soon thank you ..
Your dogs are SO adorable! We also have 2 littermate GSP’s! One male, one
female. My daughter is trying to teach ours the “bang” command! Your videos
have truly come in handy. I laughed SO hard at that particular video, and
the swimming lesson! GSP’s are SO adorable, funny, SUPER SMART! THanks SO
much for these videos. Can you do a video on how you teach the sit whistle?
That would come in VERY handy for us if they decide to chase something they
aren’t supposed to chase.
